The Double Cluster is the common name for the naked-eye open clusters NGC 884 (left) and NGC 869 (right), which are close together in the constellation Perseus. NGC 884 and NGC 869 are at distances of 7600 and 6800 light-years away, respectively, so they are close to one another in space as well. They are relatively young clusters, with NGC 869 5.6 million years and NGC 884 at 3.2 million years. NGC 869 approaching Earth at a speed of 22 km/s and NGC 884 approaching at a similar speed of 21 km/s.

Hello! :-) My name is Alfredo Garcia, Jr., and I live in the Southern CA Los Angeles area (Lomita). I am 58 years old. I have many interests and of course photography is one. I am also an avid amateur astronomer and marathon/half marathon runner! If you see any of my pics and wish to contact me, please do so at alfredogarciajr2004@yahoo.com. Thanks for viewing my pics!! :-)Alfredo PS: My profile pic was taken at the last year's inaugural Rock-n-Roll Half Marathon Race Exposition at the LA Convention Center in downtown LA. Incidently, I completed the half marathon in a little over 2 hours! I rocked-n-rolled LA! :-) |
